The last two weeks have passed without a major PS5 restock from any of the big retailers. Target has switched its PS5 restock policy to regional, which means there are no announced events for everyone to line up for. Instead, you'll need to check your local store every morning to see if stock is available. The next online PS5 restock events are most likely to come from Walmart or Best Buy, and though neither have announced an event yet, the possibility for a surprise afternoon restock is high.

After releasing iOS 15.5 to developers last Thursday, Apple launched the new update more widely on Monday. Most of the changes coming with 15.5 are minor, mainly tweaks to apps and updates that seem to lay the foundation for larger changes in the future. The update includes two main enhancements:...

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to AirPods and don't need all the features of the premium models, you can save some serious cash on competitors.

It claimed not one, but two spots on our list of the best soundbars for 2022, and our reviewer Ty Pendlebury called it the best soundbar under $200. And right now, you have a chance to snag one at a major discount. Today only, Amazon has a selection of renewed V21 soundbars on sale for just $100, $68 off compared to what it sells for new. This deal is only available until 11:55p.m. PT (2:55 a.m. ET), and with limited quantities of renewed models, there's a chance it may sell out before then.

What makes good laptop really depends on what you need it for. While it's true that Chromebooks aren't the most powerful laptops on the market, they're lightweight, durable and, most importantly, affordable. If you're looking for a solid budget laptop, this Acer Chromebook 311 is a decent value at its usual price of $180, but right now at Target it's a steal -- you can pick it up for only $100. That's a total discount of 44%, but the deal is good for a limited time only.

It's been more difficult to track down a PS5 restock from any of the big retailers in the last few weeks than it has been at any other point in the last year. The decrease in availability has been coupled with retailers changing the way restocks are managed online -- for example, Target switched from major PS5 restock events to smaller local restocks, and GameStop added weekend restocks in stores. And though this means that tracking PS5 restocks in the US has been harder, it also means that online bots are less likely to scoop up consoles in your area before you do.

Apple released iOS 15.5 to developers Thursday, about two weeks after the beta version of the update went live. The update is not available to the public yet, but the update might see a public launch this week. Apple launched iOS 15.4 in March, featuring 37 new emoji and the...
